We have two editors working on the same project simultaneously on two different computers. What do people do in this sort of situation? We can't really afford Editshare or anything like that, so what else should we do? Media manage clips onto separate hard drives? Work offline on one computer and then reconnect to online full-res clips later? Or is there some cheaper network-sharing system? Thanks...

Why export an XML rather than just open the second project on the other computer?

Also, can you copy over low-res versions of the files to the new disc with the same names (so as to use less disc space) and then reconnect the project to the original hi-res files in the other system?
